(From: http://community.livejournal.com/techsupport/1368038.html) I check my work email from home before I make my morning commute, so I can see what sort of maelstrom I'm about to walk into... If you can guess by the subject of the post, this one is a doozy. From: $user who for whatever reason came in on Monday when no one else was in the building. To: IT Dept. Re: A/C constantly running. Hi Guys, I came in today (Monday) to finish up a project I was working on before our big meeting with a potential client tomorrow, and I noticed that there were three or four large air conditioners running the entire time I was here. Since it's a three day weekend, no one is around, why do we need to have the A/C running 24/7? With all the power that all those big computers in that room use, I doubt it is really eco-friendly to run those big units at the same time. And all computers have cooling fans anyway, so why put the A/C for the building in that room? I got a keycard from $facilitiesmanager's desk and shut off the A/C units. I'm sure you guys can deal with it being warm for an hour or two when you come in tomorrow morning. In the future, let's try to be a little more conscientious of our energy usage. Thanks.
